Rental income garantee in 2020

To compensate for the fact that Coco Beach will not be fully completed in 2020 (the pool will be build by latest March 2020 and villa construction will be ongoing) Coco Beach is offerting a rental revenue garantee for 2020 of 5000 $ net rental revenue.

What is the rental income garantee?

Coco Beach offers a 5000$ net rental income garantee under the following conditions:

Villla construction starts before October 2019;

Construction of your villa must be completed in 2020; in general construction will take not longer than 12 months;

You formally apply for rental management services of Coco Beach, which will be free of charge for 2020;

50% average availability of your rental property after completionof your villa during 2020;

Panama Portfolio will determine the rental rates during 2020 to maximize your income using local experience.

Within two weeks after the end of 2020 you will receive a 5000$ garanteed rental income payment and during 2020 you will have no additional cost for the labor that we provide to execute the Rental Management Program- Panama Portfolio will run the rental management service on your behalf free of charge.

After 2020 you will have more experience with the rental management program and you might opt to arrange certain rentals yourselves, the rental management program is not mandatory.

Rental clients have the right to use the amenities.

In case net rental revenues are higher than $5000 in 2020 we will transfer the additional rental revenue to you as well.

Expected rental income 2020 onwards

For a standard two bedroom villa we expect net rental income during the folowing years to be the following basis a 50% average rental availability:

2020

$ 5000 / Year

2021

$ 8000 / Year

2022

$ 8000 / Year

2023

$ 8000 / Year

2024

$ 8000 / Year

Please note that rental income is dependant on many factors such as competiton, quality of the rental property, number of bedrooms, services offered and rental management fees.

Rental management fees will be zero for 2020 and between 25 and 35% for subsequent years. The above number are net rental income, i.e. net income to you.

In general rental rates for property in Panama are higher if the property is rented in gated communities with amenities and within communities with security (although the security situation is not a problem, see the section on security in our FAQ section). Also rental rates are higher for properties with airconditioning close to the beach.

Ok, so how do you justify expected rental income?

In order to arrive at a annual rental revenue of $ 8000 in 2021 and beyond we have used the following assumptions:

50% rental availability rate, which means that your villa is available for rentalpurposes during 182 nights per year. However, the occupancy rate is in our viewabout 55% which coincides with the current occupancy rates in hotels in Panama Cityand David;

This means that we will generate an income for you during 182 * 50%= 91 nights;

The rental management program will cost 25%, so the nightly rate will be88 $/night net or including rental management fee 117 $ per night to the client,excluding cleaning fees and excluding extra fees for variable costs such as electricity.

So the real question is:

Is a nightly rate of on average 117$ per night for a villa on the beach high or low?

Justification of the nightly rate assumption of 117 $ for an oceanview villa

Intuitively we know the answer to the above question already, a nightly rate of 117 $ per night basis occupancy of 55% is cheap for a design (4-person or more ) villa near the beach on a guarded community with amenities and a pool. But we don’t want to rely on intuition, so hereby we provide you with some data which proves our assumption.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask, we will answer them as quickly as reasonably possible. We realize rental income might be a decisive factor for you, so we take rental income very seriously.
